Safety

Achieving ever higher standards of road safety is Autostrade per l'Italia's primary objective, which it pursues with the help of all Group members. The success in the challenge of lowering the accident and mortality rates is one of the main indicators of our performance levels. The mortality rate on the Group's network has been reduced by 79% between 1999 and 2017 with over 300 lives per year.

The results achieved since the start of Autostrade per l'Italia's network management to reduce accident and mortality rates are not fortuitous, but rather the fruit of a global approach to the issue of safety. The action against risk factors affects all stakeholders and materialises both in technological and infrastructure innovations and in cultural and promotion initiatives.

The research and development activity, which has led to the widespread use of technologies such as draining asphalt, are essential for improving travel comfort and promoting compliance with driving regulations.
